What the fuck?! I thought you were a thirty-(mumble-mumble) like NR and SFAD and my wrinkly white ass. !!! This is kinda weird, man. Do you remember when Midnight Marauders and 36 Chambers dropped? Do you remember Ross Perot? Tupac and Biggie's deaths? Please tell me you remember Pac and Big. I took comfort in the illusion that I was among other old farts here. You're rocking my world, bro. Still, major (and I mean MAJOR) props to you for being less than 30 and having any appreciation at all for Tribe, Wu, Jay, Sonic Youth, and so on. Like, insane props. I work with a couple of 22-24 year olds, and they don't know SHIT about SHIT. You are the man/boy, louder! Seriously. |
Ok! I want to do a top ten Radiohead song thing to keep this thread from eating itself alive. WHO'S IN?!
|
I told you this record is just one extended track. there are no better or worse, it is a composition

Ok, first of all, I'm talking about career spanning top ten lists. Second, it's actually not one extended track. If it was, it would, y'know, be one track. It's 11 tracks. You think it's supposed to all flow together? That's what albums do. It's an album, made up of 11 tracks, no matter how well you think they work together. And third, if it was one track, and I was only asking only about this album, there are still moments that people prefer to other moments. Jesus heavenly Christ you're difficult man. But I'm pretty sure you could throw together a list of your top ten Radiohead songs, without compromising your unwavering belief about this album just being one giant song (which it isn't.) |
Quote:
I'm not being difficult just honest. you didn't say top ten radiohead songs, I thought you meant rank this album. Like i said, I just can't do that. It isn't personal its just how I feel right now. Are there moments I like more than others? Maybe, but that changes all the time. Right now I am enjoying the transition between the first two tracks and that transition you didn't like around "I'm just getting off the train.." and please don't blaspheme its unnecessary |
Quote:
What, the "Jesus Heavenly Christ" thing? I don't actually see that as blasphemous. It's more like an appeal to Mr. C to help guide me through the insanely difficult experience of communicating with you ;) I called him "heavenly" after all, when traditionally he's supposed to be an earthy manifestation. Anyway... How's about talking about our favorite Radiohead songs? |
Isn't your religion derived from Zorastrianism, which predates Christianity by, like, hella?

And why would i be a Zoroastrian? I'm an Orthodox Christian, doesn't get any more integrally Christian than that!  |

Pardon me... I thought you were an -- errm, how to put this sensitively -- an "Iron Lion of Zion," so to speak, or some variation thereof. For a guy with a minor in religious philosophy, I actually don't know much about the Eastern Orthodox Church. Didn't come up much in college. Forgive me for my ignorance. I promise I'm not trying in any way to be offensive with this post... rather, I'm trying to pad my ignorance with humour that I hope is at least passingly sensitive. |

Yeah, see... we didn't cover a lot of that when I was an undergrad. It was mostly, you know, Siddhartha n' shit. |
Ok, my favorite Radiohead album cuts are:
10. High and Dry 9. I Might Be Wrong 8. Airbag 7. Karma Police 6. National Anthem 5. kid a 4. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi 3. Idioteque 2. There There 1. Myxomatosis Factoring in b-sides and unreleased tracks is just too massive of an undertaking. It would require me to dig deep into my collection and into my memory. It would be a gargantuan waste of time. Not prepared to put anything from A Moon Shaped Pool in the top 10 yet, though Ful Stop and Burn the Witch are really worming their way into my brain. But basically, it's There There and Myxo. Those songs are peak Radiohead. |

Quick-pick list spanning most of there main releases. No real order other than chronologically as I quickly went through the albums. (although Street Spirit will probably always be the top of my list for the importance it holds on my getting into Radiohead in the first place)
Street Spirit Paranoid Android Let Down Everything In It’s Right Place The National Anthem Optimistic I Might Be Wrong Where I End and You Begin House of Cards Morning Mr. Magpie |
Ooh, I always forget Where I End You Begin. That's definitely an iconic track, because of the climax. "I will eat you alive, I will eat you alive, there'll be no more lies" ... Oh man. Kickass song!
I also love "Morning Mr. Magpie," but, as with all of TKOL, I tend to think of the album as one steady, pulsing heartbeat. It's really hard to pick out favorite tracks from that one. Not that I don't have my fave TKOL tracks (Separator, Staircase from the basement, and Give up the Ghost all qualify), it's just that none of them stand out enough in comparison to the surrounding material for me to put them on an "all time" list. The opposite is the case with the tracks I named. I wet through each album too, and picked the songs that still punch me in the balls from each one. "Karma Police" is without a doubt a major highlight of OKC for me, as "kid a" and "National Anthem" are on Kid A and "There There"/"Myxo" are on HTTT. |
you guys are weird!:confused:

welcome to the real world. it'll/they'll just get worse. did you forget about me being an old fart too. what im I? left over chinese cabbage? |
how could you guys leave out "Everything in its right Place" and "Morning Bell" in yr top tracks?
|
Quote:
Everything in its Right Place is definitely up there for me, but I think it and Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box kind of cancel eachother out as far as first tracks go. I can't decide which one I like better, so I don't. Also, if I have to pick a low key track from Kid A, it's always going to be "kid a" itself. That song is just amazing to me. As for morning bell, the fact that there are two different studio versions makes it hard to rank. I prefer the kid a version, but it's not one of my top songs on the album. |

Just one of the many recent album releases that make our friend Severian feel ''emotional'' and ''ecstatic'', I suppose.

Not at all. Assuming you're talking about Radiohead? You didn't bother to explain what, you know, the fuck you were talking about so I'm forced to guess. Whatcha doin' with that comma there, boss? You're a creepy guy. |
Quote:
bahahhahahaha I still haven't had a chance to listen to this....only that first single...which was ok. I honestly was expecting something a little more exciting after hearing everyone shouting it's greatness. |

radiohead should go back to oxford and become property developers |

I thought you were feeling it more after you heard it in the context of the album. I certainly did. It's one of my favorites. |
I like the new album. what's the biggie? great singing, great dirgy atmospheric instrumental music or air. same old same old amazing muzak you would like to hear. once a year.
it may be too dirgy and I hate the version of Identikit. |
Quote:
I don't know, man. I like it too, but it's strangely uneven to me. And I don't think it's particularly dirgy. Not in the "funeral dirge" sense like "Morninf Bell," or the chain-gang sense like "We Suck Young Blood." At its peak moments I think it's just Radiohead doing Radiohead very very well, but at its more boring moments, it's Radiohead being Radiohead and really pushing the limits of the eternal pass their fans give them on the slow, formless, "Thom plinking away at a keyboard" shit. I think I've identified my problem with the new version (I will not call it the "final" or "official" version) of "True Love Waits." It's the fact that the vocals are so completely front and center. I'd enjoy this interpretation of the song more if the vocal track took on the kaleidoscopic, ocean of sound feel of the background instrumentation. The vox should be turned down at the very least. Ideally, they'd be tweaked in some way to match the canvas. Something about the lyrics, sung with such clarity and dominance in such a lazy way, makes me want to hear something else. The song would benefit from a "kid a" style vocal scramble of some kind. Done right, that might even put the thing over the edge for me. My favorite tracks are still the ones I listed last time. Ful Stop, Decks Dark, Burn the Witch, Identikit, the Numbers and Daydreaming. I can take or leave the rest at this point. |

I have a distinct memory of being a little kid and my dad and his brothers grooving on a best-of Eagles album. So things could be worse. (Even though I was 6 years old or so, I believe I asked "What is this pussy bullshit?") |
